Hi there

In Plastic kits rather than resin if possible

1/72, 1/35 and 1/24 (please please please)

Leyland Daf Scammell DROPS and King trailer
Bedford TK, MK and MJ with all variants catered for
Foden wrecker, tractor, and the 8x4 Low mobility cargo and fuel bowsers
Foden DROPS
The new MANs about to enter service
Landrovers in the same variety as the HUMMVE seems to enjoy
Pinzgouwer
Mercedes tractor and King lowlowder combination in UK army format
The new HET tank transporter combination
RAF range of refuelers and airfield equipment
Engineers kit like the JCB's, dumpers, etc

If Revell can do for their nations Army, why can't some budding UK company (Airfix) do for our military.

Come on guys support our military ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ok if you need to send it all off to China to make it cheaper to produce, but it would be nice to see our own production capabilities made good again. MADE IN BRITAIN!!!!!!!!!!@:)

T-80 on the way from Revell...

More 251 variants from Dragon, pz.kpfw. I + II, FAMO arty version and more artillery pieces from Revell.

Being the lazy kind of modeller, I would much prefer if Dragon would release some accurate Panthers and Tigers with zimmerit (or without, depending on time), that way I wouldn't have to spend time scratching the inaccurate parts.

..and the HEMTT family in plastic would be nice, with a trailer or two. Then I would probably never build the 2 resin kits I have in my stash, but...

All in 1/72nd scale ofcoz!

regards,
Steen

I would love to see DFragon or Masterbox introduce figure sets for US Army or Marines circa 1941. A Bataan or Wake Island type Diorama would be a pleasure.

Hello Brad,

Do you know that several of the kit on your wishlist are available right now in plastic?

Italeri has released the ESCI Churchill, Matilda, Panzer I and Valentine tanks, UM has released all versions of the Hetzer and they are very nice kits with only one glaring problem (which can be corrected.) Eduard/Extratech have released the Achilles, M-10 and I think, M-36. I have the Achilles and it is a nice kit with good detail and link and length tracks. ACE has also begun releasing the Sdkfz 250 series with the 252 and 253 already out. They are very nice kits with good interior detail and PE tracks. So it looks like most of your wishes have already come true We do need a good Hellcat though!

I know revell is releasing a T-80 this year and the T-55 is made by ACE and PST, the T-62 is also available from ACE, Italeri and Revell. ACE also makes the T-72 as does Revell. ACE has a T-90.

All of the above kits are available in plastic injection although the ACE kits are short run kits and some of them take a lot of work. Maybe you hope Dragon will release the kits you wish for so you can have all the extra detail? That would be greedy.

Happy modeling
